A Google-search revealed she would fall in love with an industrialist, marrying him and joining to India’s burgeoning capitalist class. Later, the couple moved to Delhi. In past election, she won a parliamentarian seat for the current nationalistic party, bent on changing country’s secular image.
Mr. Mitra philosophised: “Indeed she lived two incarnations in one life hastening her Nirvana.”
